Very nice, definitely get it if it's on sale. They were out of red so I couldn't go extra fast, but still a nice watch. The solar isn't great here in NZ, but the torch is really useful especially the red one. The brightest setting still can't compete with a headtorch though, and it drains the battery like crazy.
I treated mine pretty roughly when I first got it, smashing it into huge amounts of snow, very hot & very cold conditions, getting it wet, and dropping it, and it's taken it all without a single scratch.
I highly recommend it, especially since you get most of the Fenix 7X features for half the price in a more robust package.
Awesome watch. Does exactly what it says on the tin, plus a lot more that will take me years to find out. Battery life is great.
Plus it's red, so it goes faster. What's not to like?
